Many thanks to Thomas' close friend Cole Peters and his mother Tamara. Glenn was born on March 31, 1967 in CT and lived in New Canaan, CT for many years where he also had many other cousins.
He then moved to Cape Cod where he also lived for many years before moving to VT. Glenn was a master electrician and worked for several businesses in CT, MA and VT before starting his own business Shepard Electric in Wheelock. He also leaves behind his closest friend Ryan McCue and many other friends including Jimmy and Wade. Beginning early in life he was a dedicated outdoorsman who enjoyed gardening, hunting, fishing, hiking, boating, canning from his gardens and his annual maple sugaring with his loyal side-kick Thomas. Almost any evening bearing good weather Glenn would enjoy sitting around his fire pit with friends and family sharing many laughs and solving world problems. Glenn will always be loved and sadly missed by us all. A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date yet to be determined and all will be made aware via social media methods.
